My family has been interested in solar technology for a long time. I want to know how to save money so I can get as many solar panels as possible. I know the government has different discounts/ grants, and there may be tax incentives. I am not looking to sell energy to the energy company I want to use the energy directly.
Nothing good comes from the government ,nothing .so why would you think they would really help in this matter . If the government is involved , that is a good indicator to stay away.
Go okorder / and click on your particular state. In the US today, panels are a money saver, if that, but not a money maker. Don't expect to get rich installing panels. A right-sized system will save the most money; more panels are not necessarily better. The arrangement you describe sounds like grid-tied, net metered solar. Try getting a free quote from a professional installer to see what size system would be appropriate, and how much it would cost.
